    I don’t know why I’m still writing about this but here’s my life lately

    It has been a busy month. No, really. Juggling two jobs is hard, I’ve made myself aware about that even before I entered the second one. But it’s just now that it’s actually sinking in. Both are demanding too much from my 24-hour day. And oops, I forgot to mention I also am a mom. Being away from home at 7am to 9pm during the weekdays made me feel really guilty, so I had to excuse myself from my second raket on weekends. But normally, that’s my weekdays and I’m also out for blog features at 11am to around 12mn on Saturdays and Sundays. My Mnemo just turned seven months…

    May Day: when confidence is silent and insecurities are loud + some things worth sharing

    I wrote this crappy little article on my Tumblr blog waaaay back, talking about my lack of confidence and insecurities. Honestly, I can’t understand my words before, but I get the point – I was insecure and I was feeling guilty for myself. Today, as inspired with an article from Dr. Melanie Greenberg, I’m sharing my stories and thoughts again with hopefully well-written words, or at least better than how I wrote it before. Insecurity driven by perfectionism that leads to social anxiety I have lots of curvy and sexy Facebook friends and, honestly, I envy their perfectly fit bodies, so I tried working on my own. As I scroll…

    May Day: My “when it rains, it pours” moment + some things worth sharing

    Just recently, I had the most depressing moments yet in my life. I knew things like these are coming, but it really feels different when bad stuff are already in front of your face, laughing. There was no single day that I didn’t cry because I felt that was the only thing I could do. This time, I didn’t cry on anyone’s shoulders, I didn’t rant on Facebook, I didn’t tell the story and more info on my blog. I knew people would say “eto nanaman may drama nanaman sa buhay ang loka”. I knew people are already tired of all my sad stories so I really tried to keep it…

    May Day: We find what we look for

    I almost forgot I have this “May Day” blog category where I tag my life updates in case I am too lazy to write on my journal. Well, here I am again, updating my blog with super personal nonsense things as if my readers care. Oh, by the way, that’s how personal blogs work, right? The previous week has been the busiest one I had since I gave birth. With all the work load and mommy duties, I thought I was nearly quitting. But God is indeed good and gave me more inspirations to live life to the fullest. Anyway, before anything else, thanks for reading my previous post on Mental…

    #theMOMMYnnaise

    Yes! I finally found my mommy hashtag! See, this is one of the reasons why I love myself. I’m crazy. I’ve been using my online alias for almost nine years already. Thanks to the Tumblr people who made me come up to such username. Now I’m so attached to it I cannot think of something better. It’s like I’m already married to this name. Whatever. Anyway, hello, readers! How’s life? I still have less than a month before I go back to work. And aside from being a mom and recovering from CS and procrastinating about other things I planned to do while on leave, I’ve also done a lot of thinking…
